Benny Play Our Little Game Novels & Stories

“They were ordinary visitors. A girl would be… different.” “Oh, I get it. You think I would be spying on you. Watching your chat-up technique. Listening for the moans from the bedroom.” “There’s no need to be crude. You know perfectly well what I mean. I couldn’t relax… with you there. Even though I know that you’re just in my head.” “Do you? How do you know you’re not in my head? What makes you so cock-sure?” Benny stood up, ignoring the question. “I’m going across to the stove to make a cup of coffee. I’ll be able to hear you from there.”

Benji said. I rolled my eyes. “You’re not the boss of me, you know.” “On the contrary.” “Children,” Ginny piped up from the back. She leaned forward and gripped the sides of mine and Benji’s seats. “Let’s play nice. It’s going to be a fun night. And who knows? Maybe Benji will be first across that finish line, and he’ll be leaving forty grand richer.” Benji chuckled and glanced at her in the rearview mirror. “I’m not in this one to win it, Gin. I just want to place in the top half so I have a spot in The Streets next weekend.”

Julian replied over the phone, "I'm playing against you guys alone in the hospital, but you're complaining instead of appreciating the fact that I'm here instead of sleeping. You can play with yourselves. I'm leaving." Valerie's voice came through. "Don't be like that, Julian. Leave the game afterward. My husband is coming home soon, and I won't need you anymore. I'll play with him." "Add me into that game too, Val," Melissa said. Bennett knocked on the door. "Let's talk once you're done playing, Melissa." "Aren't you at work, Bennett? I thought you left. Hold on just a minute," Melissa replied without even looking at him.

If anything it would make me hold onto Ivan tighter. “So this is how you want to play?” I muttered to myself with a twisted smile, shoving the gun inside my suit. “Then let’s play.”

she teased. Once they completed each dare, they took another cocktail shot and continued the game. They really wanted to get wasted tonight. They decided to start with their song of choice, "Five Little Monkeys Mix." "Hey! Listen, you know the song, right? The Five Little Monkeys Mix? At first, take it slow when you pass it. Please don’t drop it," Meli exclaimed, explaining the rules. They were all listening, except for Kenzie, who seemed to disagree with everything Meli was saying.

“Don’t make a fuss over something so small. The card has no limit. Buy yourself whatever you like. I have work. Bye.” Half an hour later, I saw Natalie’s latest post online. [Thank you, Jared, for such an extravagant birthday celebration. You will always be my soulmate.] I stared at the screen in silence until my kids threw their arms around me. “Don’t be sad, Mommy. We’ll celebrate with you.” My eldest, Anna, had already mastered how to read a room. She brought out a cake she had baked herself and placed a party hat on my head. I smiled, tapping her nose.

Noah Benny’s was louder than usual. That was saying something, because Benny’s was always loud after a game. But tonight felt like someone had turned the volume up on everything—voices, laughter, plates clattering, the jukebox humming something old and scratchy in the background. Maybe it was because it was the last one. The last game. The last time half the people in this restaurant would be here for the same reason. Jackson and I pushed through the door together, a blast of warm air and the smell of grease and fries hitting us after the cold outside.

I probed him while searching his eyes for answers and wondering what he was hiding behind him "If you must know my lovely angel, I have a surprise for you," he announced with a huge grin spreading out across his face. "What is it?" I asked, curious now that I knew it was a surprise and eager to know what it was that he had behind him, "Won't you like to guess, play a little game maybe?" He asked with wishful eyes but I was so impatient to want to play games now because I would so obviously fail so it was better not to play the game at all so I gave him a frown and shook my head from side to side

Although this child was picked up, because the Miller family were the ones who picked him up, they were tied together by fate. “Benny boy is different from his peers… Maybe he is shy,” Summer awkwardly explained. They continued to let Ben play with the slides, balloons, and klotski. Those games were extremely easy for him. She felt sorry for that child. “Wow! You’re so good!” Ben was currently playing a game of klotski, and he was currently clearing the last level with an indifferent expression. All the children screamed and jumped. Ben was the only one who looked disconsolate. “How childish.”

"Believe it or not I liked you, Tabby. You were good for Mario — kept him calm. Not now of course, but you were useful for a while. Against my better judgment I'll let you do this on your own. I don't think you're stupid enough to con me. How far do you have to drive?" Far. Like to a diamond mine. "I need to set up a meeting." He glares at me as I do my best to stop sniffling. If this is how he treats someone he likes, I'd hate to be on his bad side. Benny laughs, but there's no humor in it. "Fine. We'll play your little game.
